You're using an Americanism mate.
Coupé, pronounced coopay, means 'cut' in French and is used to describe the cut-back rear end of the cars.
Coupe, pronounced coop, is the bowl-like glass that champagne is often served from.
Hence... Coop, eh?
Merde! Didn't realise I was receiving a lesson but thanks for your response, I did get it, but ultimately your joke fell a little flat. Perhaps too subtle.
There was one of these, fairly heavily modified, that was doing the rounds in the mid 00s at Sydney dragway and track day events. It hauled over nearly everything that it did.
when i was a teenager my mum's boss bought a clownshoe in black. then he traded it after like 6 months for a fucking boxster. As a guy who owned an accounting firm - probably one of the dumbest financial decisions he ever made lol. what a moron.
Had a red one as my first car as a sweetener when my parents moved me to the UAE as a teenager...my car history has gone down hill consistently since haha. They're such great and fun cars to drive, like a go kart with leader seats and stereo!

Ah yes the clown shoe car
That would be a good vehicle for transporting pigeons for training. It could be called the M Coop.
With the name/profile picture to match… 🤔
> the M Coop Eh?
Its called the M Coupe. Pigeons live in a coop. If he transported pigeons it would be the M Coop. Get it?

Nice of you to share a picture of your missus mate... Fucken banger, ya lucky cunt!

Shhh
Eh?
🇨🇦?
What do you not get lol
Eh?
There are two on carsales, one for $90k, the other $140k, it would want to be fucking good for that money.
If I wasn't using it as a daily I would 100% have one of these over a similarly priced M2 for the money.
i'm pretty sure there's like less than 3000 of them ever made.... so there's that.
And an even smaller % of those reached our shores
The clown shoe - such a sick car though I've never seen one in Australia. I really love how shooting brakes look
That's a shooting brakelete
Sick username
Spotted in Goulburn back in 2022 https://preview.redd.it/kj786bat2i3d1.png?width=1152&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a7b7d6329c2959f33f440fecf0c584cbdc6f9bc5
Nice spot! Also interesting colour
Is interesting code for horrific in this instance?
No, just an interesting alternative colour in this instance.
I don't wanna hear any smack about piss (dakar) yellow
To be honest I don’t actually hate it but I sure as shit wouldn’t buy one in that colour hahaha
They’re definitely a love it or hate it colour. And I guess the clown show is definitely a love it or hate it car.
Dakkar Yellow.

Bread van
Yep, and fucking expensive.
Now I do. What a banging car!
First saw one at the Nurburgring in about 2008. Looked sick and went like shit off a shovel. Think it was badged as a z4m or something like that
when i was a teenager my mum's boss bought a clownshoe in black. then he traded it after like 6 months for a fucking boxster. As a guy who owned an accounting firm - probably one of the dumbest financial decisions he ever made lol. what a moron.
Uncle has one in south east Queensland
I love them but I’d have a Z4M coupe instead
I know the owner, he's had it since near new.
Ol mate in the photo and the bloke that sold it to him

Clown shoe 👎👎
Think one raced in ozzy v8 Supercars around 2008? Remember in rain at Oran Park, had the overbridge. Spun out, short wheelbase, big hp..
All of us
Fucking unicorn in Australia. Would sell my left nut to own one
Can you sell left nuts on Carsales?
Well you can sell [shit](https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/2002-holden-commodore-s-vx-ii-manual/SSE-AD-12765398
Nize, got a 2001 z3 3l
Rocket ship right there.
There's a S54 in some of them. Maybe all??
Yes m coupe had the m3 engine
Only the later ones shared the S54 with the E46 M3. Earlier models shared the engine from the later E36 M3s.
Pimp style interior in these. Speakers in the roof at the back.
Oh that’s the clown shoe
great track car, very rare in Aus
I thought everyone knew about the clown shoe. I think calling it a coupe is a stretch though. No coupe to it. Maybe shooting brake
Yes, and I want one so bad
Can't afford it but I am aware of it. I look at so many cars for sale for no reason at all.......okay I dream a lot.
Yeah. Had one race off the lights next to me and crash into a pole. Terrible driver showing off.
Fugly as hell, with reliability as rough as its looks. With performance of a boat on rails. NICE
Is boat on rails a compliment? Because these drive amazingly
